My interview on 5 Live

I have been doing interviews all day in relation to myself and Councillor Ishtiaq's actions at this week council meeting. You can listen to this morning's interview on 5 Live here. Click on '06:00 5 Live Breakfast 04/02/2011'. It starts at 2 hours 34 minutes into the programme.

I have been encouraged by the positive response I have received throughout today, as people are getting to see behind the media headlines and better understand the actual intentions behind our actions. Indeed, before the end of the 5 Live programme one of the presenters read out a text from an army veteran who said he agreed with every word I said.
